DeSantis – the right man for Florida

By Staff | Jun 7, 2023

To the editor:

Ron DeSantis won by the largest vote majority for Florida governor since 1982 when Bob Graham won his election. 

Bob Graham was a different kind of Democrat from those of today. He was a great negotiator and understood compromise and fairness. He had integrity and it was on display in his daily routine which included his “workday” program where he would work 100 days a year with the citizens he represented in their particular job.

Governor Graham did not have to deal with COVID or ANTIFA or Black Lives Matter. He delivered solutions for Florida without dividing our state and he did not teach his constituents to totally hate all Republicans. He governed before Obama’s & Biden’s Globalism, “One World Order” and “Wokeness.” He, unlike today’s Democratic politicians, did not subscribe to Sol Alinsky’s “rules for radicals” and he believed in the United States Constitution.

He did not make up lies about his opponents to seek an advantage nor did he believe in the mantra of the Dem party of today to “win at any cost.” He won by his actions and his deeds and not by empty promises or fostering hatred against his opponents.

Governor DeSantis has governed much the same way but in a different time. Most Democrats will never vote for him for the simple reason that he is a Republican and they have all been taught to hate and despise any and all Republicans since 2008.

His ideals, his incredible resume, his even-handed fairness will never see the light of day in the Socialist Democratically controlled media. This same “mainstream media” propped up Andrew Gillum in his narrow loss to Gov. DeSantis. Gillum seemed to have the MO of the favorite candidate profiles of the Democratic Party of today.

Gillum did not possess any of the characteristics of a governor or a statesman or even a person you would trust to babysit your children or grandchildren, but the mainstream media did such a hit job on Gov. DeSantis and ignored or hid the facts of the real Andrew Gillum, that he almost won an election that he should have lost in a landslide.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Democrats could put aside their “vote early and vote often” “win at any cost” attitude and take a close look at who the candidates are in a race and decide their choice on the merits of that individual instead of only their party affiliation?

One look at our current president and it’s clear nobody that voted for him thought he would make our country a better place. Their hatred for the other guy and their loyalty to a party that has betrayed our country was their only rationale for their vote.

Would DeSantis make a great president? Maybe so, but he’s definitely been a spectacular governor.
